Moreno BaruffiniA very good finish!
Since I'm also planning to build one of these I have a couple of questions: were the Yugo Hurricanes the MkI versions with textile wing and five spokes wheels, aren't them?

Djordje NikolicThank you Moreno. The first 12 aircraft had RR Merlin II engine and 2 blade Watts Z.38 propellers, while remaining ones had RR Merlin III and 3 blade Havilland/Hamilton standard propellers. The first 12 imported aircraft and license built aircraft had fabric covered wings, the original non armored wind screen and radio masts. The 12 aircraft imported in 1940 had metal stressed skin wings, bulletproof windscreen and new type radio mast. They had 5 spoke wheels.if you are interested my book Yugoslav Fighter Colors Vol.2 has all the information about Hurricanes, color profiles etc, and many other aircraft too!

Djordje NikolicThank you TS. Someone told me the green was too bright but I wanted the colors lighter for 1/72 scale.

Album info
Hawker Hurricane Mk.I Br.2317 105.E, 33 VG, 4.LP based in Skoplje and Bitolj (Kingdom of Yugoslavia, today North Macedonia) from November 1940 to March 1941. This is a wonderful kit by Arma Hobby in 1/72 scale. The only modifications I added were tape seat belts, drilled out machine guns, antenna and Royal Yugoslav decals by Lift Here. Model was painted with Vallejo acrylics and weathering was done with AK wash, pencils for chipping and pigments for exhausts. Model 20 for 2023!
